In a significant crackdown on organ trafficking, Kanpur police arrested 34-year-old Rohit Tewari, who allegedly conducted around 30 illegal kidney transplant surgeries while posing as a doctor despite only having completed Class XII. His arrest follows a multi-city investigation into a syndicate that exploited impoverished individuals, offering them ₹5-10 lakh (approximately $6,000-$12,000 USD) for their kidneys, which were then sold to wealthy patients for ₹60 lakh to ₹1 crore (about $72,000-$120,000 USD). Tewari had been evading capture since March 31, moving between various locations including Goa, Kathmandu, Manali, and Shimla. The case emerged after police raided Ahuja Hospital in Kanpur, revealing a network that spanned cities like Lucknow, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and even Nepal. Investigators uncovered that hospitals involved lacked basic medical protocols, with no proper patient records or accountability. Tragically, several patients who underwent these illegal surgeries have died, highlighting the severe risks posed by the operation.
